1. Wear Your Mask
While stepping out to get essentials, wear your mask properly at all times. It will not only ensure your safety but will also ensure the safety of others. Try to opt for a double mask as it reduces the risk and will keep you safe.
2. Have A Compact Sanitiser With You
At all times, please ensure you carry your hand sanitiser. It is advisable to carry a spray sanitiser if you are heading out for an essential work. Avoid touching any surfaces and maintain a safe distance with all. Sanitising your hands constantly is a must.

Sanitisation is a must to follow
3. Online Deliveries
Try and encourage online deliveries instead of personally stepping out to get every small thing. Even if you are ordering online, ensure to list out all your products at once to avoid multiple deliveries.
4. Sanitise Your Deliveries
Going overboard with anything isn't also the solution to keep oneself safe. While receiving an online delivery, it is best if you can ask the delivery person to drop them at your door and keep it there for a few hours. If this isn't possible, then after you collect your online order, safely sanitise the packet with a spray sanitiser and keep it aside at a corner for a few hours. Try to not open it immediately until it has something urgent.
5. Wash Your Hands
Washing your hands is a major practice that has become a part of our life now. After you receive the online order and you take out the items, ensure that you sanitise everything and then throw away the packets and wash your hands immediately. Washing hands is extremely necessary and do it after you touch any surface or product that could have the virus.
